The Career Center is an absolutely must for any professional looking to start their research career, anyone thinking its time for a job change or for the seasoned professional that just wants to brush up on their professional development skills. The Career Center has career counselors available to assist with: answering your job search questions; direct you to valuable resources; offer networking opportunities with employers; and provides useful information in their daily career sessions. Take advantage of the resources available in the Career Center to make your job search less stressful, more efficient, focused and ultimately leading to a new career opportunity for you. See what the Career Center offered last year at EB 2009 in New Orleans.

Be sure to check out the Young Professionals section for additional items of interest to undergraduate students and postdoctural fellows.

The travel awards are funded for travel-related expenses and meeting registration. Travel awards are provided as reimbursements after the meeting. The travel awards are supported by a federal training grant from the NIGMS, NIH; therefore, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. are eligible for the travel awards. Underrepresented minority faculty, students and postdoctoral fellows from majority institutions are also eligible to apply for the travel awards.
